I made an enormous mistake. Some things were not meant to be shared, even with those closest to you. Even, and especially, those who tell you you can say anything to them. Emotional attachment never completely goes away, even years and years later.
Today I was talking to a high school senior at work. She told me she was class of 2012. I can't believe how much time separates us. It doesn't feel like I'm creeping up on a decade of post-high school graduation. Unbelievable how fast time flies.
On a random note, I've somehow become the cancer authority amongst my friends because I'm really the only one that has experience. When that hit me yesterday, I kind of laughed at myself. I don't know how exactly I came to earn that title--other than peculiar genetics.
Also, I realized yesterday that after the load of gargantuan assortment of trying and difficult times I've conquered in the last 1.5-2 years, I can take on any thing. An incident arose yesterday that slapped me hard in the face moments before I walked in for a 9 hour shift (anticipation of incredibly grave news), but after half an hour of putting on a pretty face, I realized that this adversity has made me infinitely stronger than I ever thought I was.
Today, life is good.
